A History Of Gatt Unfair Trade Remedy Law--Confusion Of Purposes, John J. Barceló Iii

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This paper presents an analytical history of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy law in GATT and its member countries. In recent years this body of ‘unfair trade remedy’ law has flourished in the western trading system. Important trading countries have adopted new or expanded anti-dumping and anti-subsidy laws and imposed trade-blocking remedies under them more frequently than ever before. I try to explain in this essay how and why these laws--which I view as protectionist--have prospered and become so rooted in GATT and its member countries.

Considering Business Opportunities In The Soviet Union In The 1990s, Richard N. Dean

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The purpose of this Essay has been to provide, in somewhat summary fashion, basic background and guidelines to assist Western companies that are considering commercial transactions in the Soviet Union. It was not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of all factors that may affect the negotiation, completion and implementation of commercial transactions in the Soviet Union. Rather, we have drawn from our experience in assisting our clients over the last three years in the USSR and have attempted to provide an appropriate context for the consideration of potential business opportunities.

In our experience, the most effective perspective to adopt …

Aspects Of Soviet Law On Joint Ventures, Foreign Trade, And Investment: A Bibliographic Survey Of Current Literature In English, Igor L. Kavass

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The following is a compilation of works from widely dispersed sources in legal, economic, and business literature, including significant pronouncements made by professors, practicing lawyers, business people, and students. Journal articles are the predominant genre, and we have found it expedient to organize the gamut of views represented therein into several sections. With the growing consolidation and maturity of joint venture practices, the trend in publication is moving towards monographs, legislative compilations, practice manuals, and lengthy theoretical works. They appear to be phasing out articles from their place at the forefront of research.

All the same, the reader eventually will …

Tax Considerations In Foreign Trade And Investment In The Ussr, Michael Newcity

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The purpose of this Article is to provide a primer on the tax treatment accorded in the USSR to the various forms of income that foreign companies and individuals may earn in the course of doing business or otherwise investing there. This Article will not provide exhaustive answers to all questions arising in connection with the taxation of income earned by foreign businesses in the USSR. Such exhaustive answers are not currently possible because of frequent changes in Soviet tax legislation and the lack of comprehensive and sophisticated regulations interpreting that legislation.

The Soviet Government, at both the union and …

Trade And Investment In Central And Eastern Europe: A Bibliographic Survey Of Current Literature In English, Igor I. Kavass, William M. Walker

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The year 1989 will be remembered as an important year in the histories of the Central and Eastern European countries because of the demise of the Soviet-controlled regimes and the emergence of independent and largely pluralistic political movements. A major catalyst for such radical political change was the decline of the centralized command economies in the Central and Eastern European countries. These so-called "Soviet Bloc" countries modeled their economic systems after the Soviet Union and, like the Soviet model, these countries found themselves saddled with an increasingly inefficient economic system. When the political systems changed, the new governments immediately took …

Negotiating Investment In The Gatt: A Call For Functionalism, Paul Bryan Christy Iii

Michigan Journal of International Law

In part, this article is about the conflict between literalism and functionalism in the GATT. It examines an attempt in the Uruguay Round to negotiate rules on foreign direct investment - the so-called trade-related investment measures (TRIMs) negotiations. Foreign direct investment is often a stage in the internationalization of enterprises; it is helpful to the trade of goods producers and necessary to the trade of many services providers. Affected by the output-oriented history of the GATT, however, the Contracting Parties have treated investment as though it were simply one of three legs of an economic triangle: goods, services, investment. In …

International Joint Venture Franchising: A Key Investment Strategy For Eastern Europe, Obie L. Moore

LLM Theses and Essays

This paper analyzes international franchising as it relates to economic and cultural changes that are occurring in Eastern Europe. After consideration of the general legal implications and responsibilities of franchise relationships, certain unique qualities of franchising that lend themselves to the development of a free market economy in Eastern Europe are discussed. Particular attention is given to franchising as a vehicle to foster entrepreneurialism and privatized state-owned enterprises, and the major differences between a joint venture franchise and other forms of international franchising. The advantages and disadvantages to both parties of an international joint venture franchise in Eastern Europe are …

Acquisition Strategies For Taiwanese Acquirers, Chao-Yu Hsu

LLM Theses and Essays

Corporate acquisitions have been a prevailing technique for takeovers in the U.S. and internationally for many years. However, corporate acquisitions are just in their initial stages in Taiwan. Acquisitions between Taiwanese companies have not occurred frequently and going abroad to acquire a company in a foreign country is an infrequent measure. Following the international trend to acquire U.S. corporations, Taiwanese companies are attempting to follow suit. The major purpose of this thesis is to introduce the techniques used in the acquisition of a U.S. corporation and the factors that should be considered before doing so with a focus on Taiwanese …
